my tension is a bit off, especially when i switch needles. i guess that goes with the territory? i know that sometimes people knit their stranded knitting inside out to help with that transition. i tried that, and it wasn't any fun. now, perhaps a wee 12" circ would do the trick? (though, in the past, i've found the tiny circs to cramp my hands). perhaps the answer is experience ....

the two yarns i'm using are from the stash. the brown is something very old by socka, and the green is newer, by regia. the green by itself is quite glowing. but, the brown tones it down, and it still pops.
